NovaBay Pharmaceuticals' Neutrox Product Line Gets CE Mark and ISO Certification for the European Union
NovaBay Pharmaceuticals said that its Neutrox product line has received the CE mark, clearing the way for this product to be sold in European Union and certain other countries, and ISO 13485 certification, satisfying a step in the European approval process.
"It's gratifying to report that our Neutrox product line, which includes Avenova, has met the rigorous quality and safety standards to successfully complete the applications for both the CE mark and ISO certification," said Mark M. Sieczkarek, NovaBay's Chairman, President and CEO. "While we are committed to accelerating sales in the largely untapped U.S. market, these authorizations provide future opportunities to expand into significant new markets either through distributors or with our own sales organization.
"Avenova's distinct advantages in managing chronic blepharitis are increasingly gaining recognition by eye care specialists both in the U.S. and abroad," he added. "Avenova is the only eye care product based on our unique formulation of hypochlorous acid with no bleach impurities, and is the only commercial eye care product proven in a multicenter clinical study to substantially reduce bacteria that can cause blepharitis."
NovaBay Pharmaceuticals is a biopharmaceutical company focusing on the commercialization of prescription Avenova lid and lash hygiene for the eye care market.

Gilt and Sarah Jessica Parker Unveil SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker Bridal Collection for SpringSarah Jessica Parker, in partnership with Gilt, kicked off the exclusive launch of SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker Bridal, Gilt’s first foray into bridal ready-to-wear that would have Carrie Bradshaw swooning.
The collection includes dresses, skirts, bodysuits and other pieces, ranging in price from $295 to $2,395 and from sizes 0 to 14.
"Collaborating with Gilt on my first bridal ready-to-wear collection was an opportunity I couldn't pass up," said Sarah Jessica Parker. "The team there is brilliant and allowed me to be imaginative and take risks as I was designing for the non-traditional bride. It has been quite fun to play around with colors, fabrics and details to create unique pieces for all kinds of brides." The collection, comprised of ten styles, is inspired by Parker's vision of a modern, non-traditional bride, and is designed to dress a woman for a variety of wedding milestone moments; from her bridal shower through her wedding reception. Styles offered are a unique mix of classic dresses and gowns, modern bodysuits, full skirts, and a jumpsuit. The color palette includes traditional bridal white, sleek black, plus pops of blush, poppy, light gray and blue.
Designed in collaboration with Gilt, the collection was produced in New York City utilizing fabrics like cashmere and stretch crepe sourced from Spain, Italy and France.
The pieces all feature carefully curated details like elegant bows, sophisticated cutouts, feathers, intricate embroidery and beautiful hand-stitched beading.
The actress and style icon is no stranger to chic bridal wear. Carrie Badshaw, famously played by Parker, took part in an elaborate bridal photo shoot in Sex and the City: The Movie. The shoot featured gowns from designers like Christian Lacroix and Lanvin. Parker famously wore a black wedding gown for her own wedding to Matthew Broderick in 1997.
"Not only is Sarah Jessica Parker's style known around the world, her point of view is one-of-a-kind," says Tom Ott, Chief Merchant of Gilt. "Sarah Jessica brings her impeccable taste and fashion sensibility to life in this collection. We think our customers will be delighted with the offering which is stylish and well-priced in the bridal category."
As part of the bridal launch, Gilt will also offer 15 exclusive styles from the SJP by Sarah Jessica Parker footwear line, each of which are complementary to the bridal collection.
To correspond with the bridal collection launch, Gilt City will present offers from some of Sarah Jessica Parker's favorite places in New York City.
The offers were each chosen as a way to help brides plan for and celebrate the big day with highlights including, Leather Spa, Lars Nord Studio Tailoring, Mah-Ze-Dahr Bakery, among others.
